Sometimes, interviews take things too far with invasive or inappropriate questions and comments. A lot of celebs try to redirect the conversation, but others shut down the interview completely by getting up to leave or ending their call.

Kyle said, "Let's hope [Giselle Eisenberg, Cameron's young costar] misses out on the Drew Barrymore drug years, because those were a great thing to watch, but not so good to be in, I'd imagine."

Cameron replied, "I'm sure, Kyle, you've never been through a drug phase, have you? Or alcoholism or anything like that? Pretty clean...always did it right? Congratulations."

Kyle tried to defend himself by saying he was friends with Cameron's husband Benji Madden, and his co-host Jackie O tried to redirect the conversation.

However, Cameron said, "We have to go now. ... Sorry, they're wrapping us up."

Russell replied, "You’ve got dead ears, mate — seriously dead ears if you think there’s an Irish accent."

Doubling down, Mark asked if he'd been going for a northern English accent, to which Russell sarcastically replied, "No, I was going for an Italian...missed it? [Fuck] me."

Then, walking out, he muttered, "I don’t get the Irish thing by the way. I don’t get it at all."
